Designing Beautiful Charts and Data Visualizations | Bubble.io Tutorials | Planetnocode.com

I absolutely love this plug-in. I even needed a feature that was in sone charts but wasn’t in one I wanted, and when I requested it, Thimo asked how/why I would use it. I made an example of what I hoped to do, and within the same day, he added it 😮😀. I also use his “Leader Lines” plug-in which is incredibly useful for making beautiful, dynamic lines between different elements on a page. I’m still somewhat new to Bubble, but my app is complicated and ambitious. I’ve been trying to avoid plug-ins, but the Apex charts are crucial for me. I tried the alternate js charts plug-in, and it’s good too, but in the end I preferred Thimo’s. (I cannot speak to the customer service on the others). Just a note for anyone reading: a plug-in like this can feel overwhelming and confusing, and the UI documentation is not as full as I would like. However, studying the examples is a huge help, and the way you show it here is the same way I’ve used it… I copy from the editor of his plug-in page, paste it onto a “test” page and start experimenting with data until I get what I want. One general Bubble issue that has made charts a challenge for me is that a lot of my charts are not built directly on data from the DB but rather on calculations on values built in custom states. And when the chart requires a LIST of numbers, the custom state problem of NOT being able to have duplicate values has been biting me hard. I have had to do some annoying things to give a list to the chart that could contain duplicate numbers, but I had to use ListShifter plug-in. If pulling directly from DB fields, then this is not an issue of course.

Good walkthrought, just wondering how many WU condsuming each page load, at least if you have a full page with charts and data with search

[@planetnocode]

Wish there was a simple solution but it is so subjective. For example: - Number of records - Are you using Group By - Number of charts - Are charts showing the same data or different searches.

@@planetnocode I think in an app with over 1000 rows per table, not using group by, at least 10 charts and data visualizations and loooot of different search by …

Have you figured out how to get the data into these charts using UX connected APIs through accounting software such as quickbooks and go high level for sales and conversion data? How can I get in touch with you?

Yes, you can pull in external data as long as you achieve the right structure required by the chart plugin. This is something we can definitely with. Please reach out to support[AT]planetnocode.com or book a 1 to 1 call direct with Matt www.planetnocode.com/bubble-coaching/
